Yes, because krb5-config is usually the better choice since it has info from
the installation of the krb5 lib(s) and lets us avoid "guessing" in the
configure script.

No. libcurl does NTLM either completely by itself (using a crypto backend) or
it hands if off to Windows SSPI, but none of that requires or uses any krb
things as far as I can tell.
